Chapter 14750 Yellow Gale
With this thought in mind, Ling Xiao suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate mockery. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears:
"Huang Jifeng, is it? Judging from your arrogance, you must be quite powerful. But if you're so strong, why don't you go to the Realm of Annihilation and kill Ling Xiao? The Holy Temple's wanted poster has an incredibly generous bounty. Could it be... you're afraid?"
"court death!"
Huang Jifeng's expression suddenly turned cold, his eyes blazing with killing intent. He blurred into a streak of blue afterimage and pounced on Ling Xiao almost instantly.
The palm strike, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, slammed directly into Ling Xiao's face, so fast that Duan Ting and the other three had no time to react!
Ling Xiao understood this perfectly and naturally wouldn't go all out. What he wanted was a disguise, to make Huang Jifeng lower his guard. If he revealed his strength now, all his previous plans would be in vain.
He only used one-tenth of his power, lightly parrying with the Bloodthirsty Blade.
boom!
With a muffled thud, Ling Xiao was forced back by the force of the palm strike, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have been instantly suppressed by Huang Jifeng, with no power to fight back.
"Aren't you four going to help?" Ling Xiao deliberately raised his voice, roaring with a hint of urgency, as if he had truly been driven to the brink of despair.
However, Duan Ting and the other three stood still, indifferent, with even a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes. They were happy that Ling Xiao was killed by Huang Jifeng, so that there would be one less person to share the benefits.
Ling Xiao sneered inwardly, but feigned anger on the surface. He clashed with Huang Jifeng's blade again. The blade hummed loudly from the wind, and Ling Xiao himself was also thrown back, landing heavily on the ground, seemingly seriously injured.
Huang Jifeng paused, his gaze falling on Ling Xiao with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Sanctuary, Blade Madman." Ling Xiao slowly stood up, wiping the "blood" from the corner of his mouth, his tone calm and feigning composure.
"People from the Holy Temple?" Huang Jifeng raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then he sneered, "People from the Holy Temple would condescend to hang out with these trash? I think you're lying to me."
Ling Xiao shrugged, his tone casual: "It's just a matter of lacking a few scouts. The terrain of the Silent Realm is complex; having them clear the way ahead will save me some trouble."
Duan Ting and the other three looked even uglier, but they couldn't refute it. They had indeed initially planned to have Ling Xiao lead the way. To put it bluntly, it was a mutual exploitation. Now that Ling Xiao had seen through their scheme, they were extremely embarrassed.
Huang Jifeng stared at Ling Xiao for a moment, then suddenly laughed, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "Interesting. But you, a piece of trash who can't even withstand a tenth of my strength, dare to speak to me like that?"
Ling Xiao said calmly, "I'm just stating the facts. Since you're so powerful, why don't you kill them all, and then we can team up to kill Ling Xiao? We can split the bounty and the rewards, and divide the treasure equally. It's better than dragging along a bunch of useless trash who are just holding us back, right?"
"You!" Fu Hai roared in fury, "Dao Kuang, what do you mean! Are you trying to use someone else to do your dirty work?"
Ling Xiao didn't even look at him, his tone indifferent: "Just telling the truth. You are too weak. Following us will only cause trouble."
Huang Jifeng burst into laughter, his laughter arrogant and unrestrained, slapping his thigh as he said:
"Good! Good! You've got guts! You're ruthless! I like it!"
He turned to look at Duan Ting and his three companions, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "Since this Brother Dao Kuang has said so, then I'll send you trash on your way today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure blurred again, transforming into a streak of azure lightning with astonishing speed, rushing straight towards Duan Ting. Among the four, Duan Ting was the strongest; if he dealt with him first, the remaining three would be no threat.
"Damn it! Join forces! Join forces now!" Duan Ting roared, no longer daring to be careless. He swung his double hammers, his blood and qi surging, and poured violent power into them, crashing down on the cyan afterimage with great force and the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.
Fu Hai, Miao Lan, and Zhu Hua reacted instantly, each unleashing their full power. Fu Hai thrust out his spear, its blade flashing like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, ruthless and vicious.
Miao Lan wielded her twin short swords, their blades flashing with light, her movements swift and agile, aiming straight for Huang Jifeng's vital points;
Although Zhu Hua remained silent, she was not to be outdone. She condensed an energy ball in her palm and slammed it out, combining it with the attacks of the three to seal off all of Huang Jifeng's escape routes.
boom!!!
A deafening roar erupted as the azure wind clashed violently with the four people's attack, unleashing a terrifying energy storm. The chaotic mist was violently stirred, forming a huge vortex, and the surrounding space trembled slightly.
Duan Ting grunted, staggered back three steps by the aftershock of the energy, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood dripped down the hammer handle;
Fu Hai fared even worse, being directly blasted dozens of feet away, his body staggering, his spear nearly slipping from his hand, his chest heaving with blood and qi, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Miaolan and Zhuhua were also pale and their breathing was disordered, clearly shaken by the violent energy.
Huang Jifeng, however, only paused slightly, his aura fluctuating slightly, before lunging forward again. His speed not only didn't decrease, but actually increased, weaving through the four's attacks like a ghost, his tone full of disdain:
"Too slow! Your attacks are like tickling me!"
With a sneer, he struck Duan Ting's face with a palm strike. The palm wind was fierce and carried a bone-chilling coldness. The speed was so fast that Duan Ting had no time to react.
Duan Ting was shocked and hurriedly raised his hammer to block. With a muffled thud, he was forced back more than ten feet by the palm strike. His arms were numb, and a deep palm print was left on both hammers, with cracks spreading.
Ling Xiao stood aside, watching quietly, secretly assessing the situation.
Huang Jifeng's strength was indeed formidable. He had mastered the wind elemental laws to perfection, his speed was as fast as lightning, and his strength far surpassed that of Duan Ting and the other three. Despite fighting four opponents alone, he was still able to maintain the upper hand and even crush his opponents.
However, if he were to actually make a move, even without using special methods such as holy runes and the corpses of poisonous insects, killing Huang Jifeng would not be difficult for him, given his current lower-level lord realm.
But today, he doesn't need to take action. All he has to do is stand by and watch these two groups kill each other, then reap the benefits.
"Blade Maniac! Why aren't you making a move! If you don't, we'll all be dead, and you won't get away with it either!" Duan Ting roared, desperately trying to fend off Huang Jifeng's attacks while yelling at Ling Xiao, his voice filled with urgency and anger.
Ling Xiao, clutching the Bloodthirsty Blade, asked indifferently, his eyes icy, "When he hit me just now, did you intervene?"
Duan Ting froze, speechless for a moment.
Just now, Ling Xiao was knocked back and even "injured" by Huang Jifeng's attack. They really didn't make a move. To be precise, they wished Ling Xiao would be killed so that there would be one less person to share the credit and treasures. Now that Ling Xiao has exposed them in public, they are speechless.
"You brought this on yourself, so you have to take responsibility for it." Ling Xiao's tone was completely calm. "I'm just a scout; I have no obligation to risk my life for you."
"You!" Duan Ting trembled with rage, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, but he was speechless. Ling Xiao was right; they were just using each other, and neither of them had any obligation to help the other.
